[SOLVED] wine issue

qrange · 06-25-2012, 06:47 AM

something is wrong, terribly wrong with Wine.
I'm using debian_testing_amd64.
Wine displays this:

Quote:

This is the wine64-bin helper package, which does not provide wine itself,
but instead exists solely to provide the following information about
enabling multiarch on your system in order to be able to install and run
the 32-bit wine packages.
.. blablabla..

but, I do not want multiarch or to run 32bit wine.
I want 64bit wine.
how to resolve?
thanks.

edit:after searching on internet, it seems currently there is no good solution for this problem

I think wine is a 32bit only app, like skype for instance, so you will have to install 32bit libraries in order to use it.

thanks for the reply.
but this site seems to have latest 64bit versions too: http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/
unfortunately it lacks 'APT repository'.

Picking a random *_amd64.deb package from there...

Code:

Package: libwine-bin-unstable
Source: wine-unstable
Version: 1.5.5-0.1
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Debian Wine Party <pkg-wine-party@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 15648
Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.7), libwine-unstable (= 1.5.5-0.1)
Conflicts: libwine-bin
Replaces: wine-bin-unstable (<< 1.1.25-1), wine-utils-unstable (<< 1.1.25-1)
Section: libs
Priority: optional
Homepage: http://www.winehq.org/
Description: Windows API implementation - system services
 Wine is a free MS-Windows API implementation.
 This is still a work in progress and many applications may still not work.
 .
 This package provides system services and utilities needed to use many
 Windows applications.

so it is not native 64bit but 32bit with compatibility libraries as I said above.
